Someone getting killed by a driverless car would imply a defect in the design = manufacturer should be responsible.

To me, I think it would all come down to what caused the accident. For example, if it was some kind of software error I could see how it could be the manufacturer that was at fault. If it was something that the owner did, it would be them. I'm not sure what the owner might do that could cause the car to hurt someone, but an example might be that they entered GPS information incorrectly causing the car to drive in the wrong place.
